Life of Literary People.

If it be said that literary people must
live, and that literature is precarious
means of support, the obvious reply
would be that all means of income are
precarious, and literature no more SO
than the rest. Whatever employment
one chooses, he must take the risk OF
failure in 1t. Many a lawyer has liter
ally almost no clients many physician
has hardly any patients; and why should
writer expect to be moro secureP His
possible prizes in money are not so
great as tho lawyers probably, but they
are greater than those of the physician
or the clergyman; and the blanks are
less, on the whole, than in either of
these occupations. have known men
of all these professions who were abso-
lutely unemployed. A lawyer of unu.
sual attainments, returning in middle
lite to the home of his youth, told me
that for one year he had not a single eli
emit, great or small; he did not so much
as draw will or deed.
l have never known doceutly equip
ped literary man or woman to be left
thus hopelessly stranded; there was al
ways something to be earned, even at
low price. Apparently the bitterest OF
these complaints emanate from literary
men in large cities who live face to face
with the vast successes of the stock ex-
change, and cannot be satisfied so long
as the nation does not furnish them
with corresponding incomes They do
not recognize that perhaps it is poverty
which has drawn out of them whatever
approach to genius they have shown;
and that, If they gained the millions
which they seem to themselves to de.
serve, perhaps the genus might vanish,
like the song Of canary which is fed
too well. w H." IN Harper'S b.

Our Presidents message has been pro

Our Presidents message has been pro-
mulgated, and every American should read
it carefully, for therein may be found many
points for reflection. Mr.. Blaine's criticism
has also appeared IN the shape of an inter.
view, and contains suggestions which merit
the careful study Of all men who depend up
on their labor for maintenance. Mr.. Blaine
shows how the free trade policy of the Pres
ident, if adopted, would effect the nations
toilers to their disadvantage. and the expe-
rience of Nevadans in regard to his silver
policy has been such that we may well look
with suspicion upon Mr.. Cleveland's reform
measures
